The easiest way would probably be to walk down to the Luas (15-20 minutes) and get the Saggart tram.

Thanks so much
Can I ask as I'm not familiar with area
Where is the Luas?
Is it 15-20 min walk or 15-20 min on Luas

Walk to the Kylemore Luas stop I would think and then the Luas to Citywest, other option would be 151 bus to Clondalkin and the 69 bus to Citywest.

Or walk to Clondalkin

LXFlyer

There is a direct shuttle bus operated by Express Bus from Parkwest to Kylemore LUAS.

It operates every 30 minutes from 16:00 to 18:00.

That's your best option as you can connect directly to the LUAS at Kylemore.

Otherwise, get a 151 from Nangor Road heading inbound as far as the Long Mile Road/Kylemore Road junction. From there it's a 5 minute walk to Kylemore LUAS.

Walking from Parkwest to Kylemore LUAS would take at least 25-30 minutes.

Given the poor frequency of the 69 I wouldn't even suggest that as an option unless the OP were directly on the route already.

OP - use the National Journey Planner at www.a-b.ie or the app, or Google Maps - they will all show you where you need to go.

Depends on what other options you have.

No, but you could get the train from Parkwest to Heuston and change to the Luas red line for a tram to Saggart there.

Will all due respect you can find out all you need to know about the Luas on the official website http://www.luas.ie

Yes, get the Saggart tram to the Saggart stop - this is 5/10 minutes simple walk from the hotel.

Not correct - Red line Luas does go from Connolly to Saggart - it's 1st stop to last stop on that branch of the Red Line - takes about 50 minutes though.

It does, but it's only confusing things. The Parkwest trains run into Hesuton, and the red line stop is outside the door. No need to go to Connolly at all.

That's what I thought too
Hence the confusion
How much does the Luas cost for this journey

See above. Are you getting the train from Parkwest? If so then get off at Heuston.

Fares are on the Luas website. They're distance based.
